BC Road Championship

GE holds strong at Provincials

Garneau Evolution finished their road season with another strong showing at the BC Provincial Road Championships in August. A break of 10 riders separated with 3 GE riders in tow: Dan Skinner, Mike Sidic, and Jason Thompson.

The front group lead got up to nearly 3 minutes before in-fighting and attacks brought the gap down. The rolling hilly Atomic course favoured a fast pace and is a favorite for several Garneau Evolution riders. The lead group eventually shattered with 2 laps to go and it was every man for himself. Skinner, Thompson, and Sidic finished with the lead group with Tim Abercrombie leading the peleton on the chase.

GE ended the day with 4 top-10 finishes, with Jason Thompson leading with 4th place.

La Classique!!

Abercrombie places 3rd at La Classique Montréal-Québec Louis Garneau!

Garneau Evolution's Tim Abercrombie snags third at Classique Montréal-Québec Louis Garneau, Canada's oldest and longest cycling race. The race was 250 km, from Montreal to Quebec City.

Abercrombie raced as a guest with Garneau Club Chaussure Ogilvy, a French Canadian elite team supported by Louis Garneau. He braved fierce weather, many attacks, and a grueling pace to place on the podium in one of North America's most storied and prestigous roadraces.

Andrew Kyle wins Sidney Crit

Garneau Evolution continues its late season domination as Andrew Kyle wins the Sidney Twilight Criterium. The Team dominated the front of the race, sending several riders on break-aways. Finally, midway through the race, Andrew, or AK-47 as he's known to teammates, broke free with another rider. Andrew pushed the pace and was able to shake the rider for the solo victory!

Paul Beard finished strong as well with a 4th place.
